quite a few places hire bikes up here. cupar motorcycles do it but i dont know about prices.
have done scotland to surrey in between 7 and 8 hours which is 450 miles. its not fun but not that bad. i just keep to m6 as i get lost all the time. its not exactly exciting journey but the roads in scotland make up for the boredom |

A good friend of mine stays down in Teeside, visits back home quite a lot on the bike now.. will not use the motorway, A68 all the time now.. He used to hate that road when he came up in the car.

Update from Work last night, Motorail dont exist in this country anymore so there is no chance of getting your bike on a train to Scotland.

Just avoid the motorway then, and treat the journey up there as part of the trip.
It's no different to a European trip really, it's a long day's ride to get to the best bits of Southern France too! |

I just came back from Reading and it turns out there's not even space for a rucksack and a tent on a modern train, never mind a bike
